ISAAC I-I. WEINBERG, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

UMBRELLA AND PARASOL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 10, 1918.

Application filed May 28, 1918. Serial No. 237,054.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC H. VVEINBERG, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the borough of Manhattan, in the city and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Umbrellas and Parasols, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in umbrellas and parasols and has for its object to provide a tie having means thereon adapted to engage coacting means on the umbrella for securing the umbrella when closed and rolled and a similar coacting means for holding the tie in close proximity to the umbrella when the tie is not in use.

Another object is to provide a tie which will conceal and protect the first named means when the umbrella is closed and rolled up.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings in which,

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a portion of an umbrella or parasol closed and rolled with my improved tie applied thereto.

Fig. 2 represents a similar view with the tie released and turned backwardly to disclose the members of the locking means.

Fig. 3 represent a similar view with the tie in position on the umbrella when the umbrella is enrolled, and

Fig. 4 represents a View of a portion of an umbrella showing the tie released from its locked position and turned baokwardly to disclose the members of the locking means.

The fabric body of the umbrella or parasol is denoted by 1, the ribs by 2 and the rod which carries the ribs by 3.

A tie 4 is secured to the body 1 at one end by any well known and approved means and at which end one member 5 of a locking means is fixed. The other end of the tie is provided with a member 6 which coacts with the member 5 to secure the tie when; wrapped around the body to hold the same closed and rolled, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

A member 7 similar to the member 5 is secured to the body 1 in position to coact with the member 6 on the free end of the tie and so secure the tie in close proximity to the body. When the tie is secured to the body as in this last named position, it will be seen that the tie will be kept from dangling before the users eyes when the umbrella is opened as well as prevent the tie from flicking water therefrom when the umbrella is used in the rain.

Furthermore, with the tie in this position, it cannot become entangled with the ribs.

The locking members are also so arranged with respect to the tie that the tie will cover and conceal the members and so protect them from contact with the casing with which the umbrella may be covered. The concealment of the locking members together with the arrangement of the tie presents a very neat and attractive appearance to the umbrella.

While I have shown the member 5 on the tie and similar coacting members 6 and 7 on the body of the umbrella as component parts of a snap fastener of well known and approved construction, I wish it understood that I may use other fastening means applied in a similar manner to accomplish the desired result.

What I claim is:

1. An umbrella or parasol including a tie having one end secured to the cover at one point said tie having complementary parts of a fastener at its opposite ends for securing the tie around the cover, said cover having a complementary part for the part at the free end of the tie, located at a point distant from said first named point for securing the tie along the cover.

2. An umbrella or parasol including a tie having one end secured to the cover at one point said tie having complementary parts of a fastener at its opposite ends for securing the tie around the cover said cover having a complementary part for the part at the free end of the tie, located at a point distant from said first named point for securing the tie along the cover, the complementary parts on opposite ends of the tie being covered by the material of the tie when the tie is secured around the cover.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name this 16th day of May, 1918.

ISAAC H. WEINBERG.
